It's been many years since I tried building my own PC. I just purchased all my new parts from Newegg.com and I should have them in a few days. My goal is to create a system that will last me a long time since my current PC is a Pentium4 w/ 3+ghz. I do a lot of photoshop and multi tasking. Can I please get some feedback if you think the components below will work well together and If I should be happy with the results.
I also need some advice on my Hard drive application. I wanted to have a fast hard drive so I purchased the Western Digital Velociraptor 10000 rpm with 300GB. I know that this is a small drive so I will need more space for my files. I was thinking of adding a second 1TB hard drive for all my files and run my Operating system and programs from the Velociraptor drive. If I do this, am I defeating the purpose of having a fast drive or will the larger 1tb open my files quick enough. What is the best way to run 2 separate hard drives? Thank you for your help...
